Come on.

You're all dead meat.

Dayan's troops?

Third Master!

Charge!

Charge!

His Highness may be surrounded by loyal and honest men

or even sycophants,

but there mustn't be someone like you.

What kind of person am I?

You are a man in despair.

­

♫ The moonlight shines over my robes ♫

Third Master.

♫ My yearning is met with silence ♫

♫ The wind rises in my heart but disperses ♫

♫ That was the morning light I let slip away ♫

♫ Traces of ink bleed through the letter paper ♫

You shouldn't call me Heir Apparent.

Xian Ge'er is your cousin, but he's my own nephew.

You should follow his lead... and call me Uncle.

I'm not someone... you can take advantage of so easily.

Your face is all you have left.

Otherwise, who would want to marry a woman like you?

What happened?

What are you doing?

Keep your hands to yourself.

If I'm starting a rumor, I'll be struck by lightning.

If you're lying, you'll be struck by lightning as well.

Meeting you was already like being struck by lightning.

Gu Jin Zhao, how dare you defy me!

♫ Before I can complete the ending ♫

♫ It has already been determined that we cannot be together in this life ♫

Are you really that clueless, or just pretending?

I did this... for you.

♫ The heart's burdens erected a door ♫

♫ But the promises refuse to sink into oblivion ♫

Your mother was murdered.

Who did it?

I'll kill them!

You've got so many carts but very few people.

That makes you a fat target.

With them escorting you, I won't have to worry as much.

This is...

It's a bracelet.

I got it during a raid.

It's above board now.

You can wear it without worry.

If it disgusts you, just throw it away.

Gu Jin Zhao!

What a coincidence to run into you here.

♫ I softly say your name ♫

♫ Like a snowflake falling onto my palm ♫

♫ Before I can even show it to you ♫

♫ It has melted into tears, falling through my hands ♫

♫ I gently write our farewell ♫

♫ Like a firefly, leaving without a trace ♫

♫ Before I can complete the ending ♫

♫ It has already been determined that we cannot be together in this life ♫

♫ The endless night creeps over the long street ♫

♫ Thoughts of you pile up like snow ♫

♫ I pray to the moon for a dream ♫

♫ In the dream, your footsteps are soft ♫

♫ I gently gaze at your silhouette that's turned away ♫

♫ Like the setting sun sinking behind the distant ridge ♫

♫ I used up all the strength remaining in my life ♫

♫ But I still couldn't stop you from saying goodbye ♫

♫ I gently sigh at the scenery in front of me ♫

♫ Like a swing that is idle in an empty courtyard ♫

♫ Before I can hold tightly onto the past ♫

♫ Only memories are left floating softly ♫

Third Master!

How is Third Master?

Don't worry. He just woke up.

He's fine.

Stay with him for a while.

Gu Jin Zhao, if you're reading this letter,

it means only one thing.

I'm a dead man already.

Don't blame yourself.

I came to the border for you and for myself as well.

The doctor said it long ago.

I've got a serious heart problem.

And I wouldn't live past three years.

Better to go out gloriously than to fade away.

My father always complained that I couldn't do martial arts,

lead troops, or uphold the family honor.

But this time, I led an army, went to war,

and will die on the battlefield.

When we meet on the other side,

I can hold my head up high and tell him

I, Ye Xian, didn't disgrace the Ye family.

You're crying, right?

Stop it. You should be happy for me.

But to be honest, I do have some regrets.

I'll die before my mother.

I can no longer look after her.

Please take care of her for me.

And my sister. Her husband is useless.

But she's got a lot of pride.

She never says a word about her suffering.

She likes you very much. Please go and see her often.

And Xue Qing Lan.

She's such a great girl.

But she fell for me.

What a silly girl.

When she gets married, give her a gift for me.

Oh, right. I almost forgot Baopu.

He's a really lovable cat.

But I've never said a nice thing to him.

Be sure to praise him often for me.

As for Chen Yan Yun.

That bastard always has to beat me at everything.

And he even went behind my back to be with you.

I'll never forgive him.

They say the good die young, but the bad live long.

Chen Yan Yun is full of tricks.

I'm guessing he'll be with you until you're old and gray.

That would be one of the few good things he's ever done.

I bet you'll never forget me if I die on the battlefield.

If I can live on in your heart like this, I guess I beat him this round.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Be sure to tell him this part.

Don't forget. I mean it.

And one more thing. After I die,

go ahead and use the name of the Ye Family Army if it helps.

It's a shame to waste the honor I earned in battle.

But whatever, I'll just give it to him.

All right, I'll stop here.

I'm saying goodbye.

It's my great fortune to have met you in this life.

Take care.

Take care.

♫ You have a cherished companion to share your days ♫

♫ I, alone with my shadow, drift through the twilight hours ♫

♫ Memories of the past fill up every wrinkle of time ♫

♫ Memories of the past fill up every wrinkle of time ♫

I took two thousand light cavalry and rode without stopping.

But I still didn't make it in time.

If not, Heir Apparent Ye wouldn't have...

I swear I'll get you safely back to the capital.

I'm not going back just yet.

Before I came here, the governor-general told me again and again

that I must get you back safely.

Are you worried that Fu Hai Lian will move against you after you return?

I'm not worried about myself.

Now, Shicheng and Menyuan have fallen.

Yi County's got 10,000 elite troops garrisoned.

But the Northern Tribes are still gathering more forces.

The court should immediately send the elite troops of the capital to Yi County.

But every military move has to go through the Cabinet for coordination.

And it needs the whole court to work together for it to work.

If I go back now, Teacher's collusion...

with the Chunyuan Cult will surely be exposed.

Then... the court will fall into turmoil.

We might not even be able to

send out troops, let alone fight the enemy.

Just go back and tell my second brother this.

He won't blame you.

I really don't get you civil officials.

What should we do now?

Only if... I really die.

Mother.

Mother insisted on coming. I couldn't stop her.

Mother, we can't stay around here long.

Let's go back home.

Let's go, Mother.

Jiu Heng, it's a pity you died for the country.

I was heartbroken at the news.

Madam, please send Jiu Heng's coffin

to Xuanmiao Temple for all the officials to pay their respects.

What if I say no?

I'm afraid that won't work.

I won't agree to that.

How dare you!

I don't think you'd risk making an enemy of the entire country

and force the widow of a loyal official to her death in front of so many people.

I don't think you really want to die.

Don't push me.

Third Master fell in battle and died a heroic death.

As his wife, death doesn't scare me.

Have it your way.

Go home!

Third Master, Madam should've made it to the capital by now, right?

I think so, going by the days.

You think Madam can get reinforcements?

I'm a bit worried.

She'll make it. I know it.

I believe she can do it.

You seem lost in thought.

Are you tired?

Let me give you a massage.

I did it for my grandmother all the time.

I was just thinking if there's a way...

you don't have to take such a big risk.

There's no risk for me.

I'm just going back to the capital.

Fu Hai Lian can't do anything to me anyway.

I'm only worried about you.

You don't need to worry about me.

Yi County has high walls. Easy to defend, hard to attack.

And they were reinforced half a year ago.

The Northern Tribes people don't know how to lay siege.

They can't do much to me for the time being.

If that's the case, we're both safe.

This is for you.

What is it?

Qing Pu brought them from Pingyang Prefecture.

I'm going back to the capital. I won't need them anymore.

If you miss me, you can eat one.

How many are in there?

Take a guess.

Feels like...

I could finish them in two hours.

Don't you have anything to give me?

There's a box behind the painting in the study.

Inside are all the things that I treasure the most.

If I...

just keep it as a memento.

What nonsense are you saying? I don't need a memento.

I only want you. You hear me?

I know.

Wait for me.

I'll find a way to make the court send troops.

That really is important.

But your safety...

means more to me.

For all these years, I've always...

put the court and the country first.

But now,

I only care about you.

Don't risk your life for anything.

I want you to stay alive. Got it?

Eldest Sister.

Jin Zhao, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Has anyone from the ancestral home arrived?

Not yet.

Hurry back to Daxin

and ask Grandmother and the others to come and pay respects.

Make sure Fifth Aunt comes, too.

Okay, I'll go right now.

Let's go.

Mother.

Second Sister-in-Law.

I have something to tell you.

Mother, actually... Third Master is still alive.

What did you say?

- Is this true? - Mother,

it's all my fault.

I didn't tell you the truth earlier.

And it made you suffer.

I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.

I had that thought.

But I told myself I was just dreaming.

- Mother. - Mother.

- Mother. - Mother.

Mother, Third Brother is still alive. You should be happy.

Mother.

I'm happy.

But I hate myself.

I thought Old Third was dead.

Every night when I closed my eyes,

I remembered what he looked like as a child.

He was mature even when little.

Among all my children, he was the most sensible one.

And because of that, whenever the children fought,

I'd always yell at him first,

no matter whose fault it really was.

I forgot that he was just a kid.

Then he grew up

and became the most successful of my sons.

But in those days, I felt that he was no longer close to me

and wouldn't tell me anything.

I pushed it all onto him.

He had to set up Second Son's future,

and then deal with all the trouble Old Fourth caused.

To outsiders...

he was the good son I could show off.

But at home, I never once...

praised him from the heart.

I was wrong.

I was so wrong.

I've made him suffer all these years.

If I could do it all over again, I'd never be like that.

I'd...

I'd give it my all to treat him well.

I know.

I know that, Mother.

Third Master is still alive.

When he comes back, you can explain it to him.

Okay. Okay.

Help Mother up.

Come on, Mother.

Thank you, my good child.

It's what I should do.

Sister‑in‑Law, so who is inside the coffin?

Miss,

Old Madam and Fifth Madam Gu have arrived.

Second Sister-in-Law, please do me a favor.

Take care of Mother and my grandmother.

Sure.

Ask Fifth Aunt to come to the study.

Yes.

Zhao Jie'er, what exactly happened?

I know you specifically told Lan Jie'er to bring me here.

Did something happen to Xian Ge'er?

Fifth Aunt.

Ye Xian...

What happened to him?

He ran into the Northern Tribes people...

at Huxiao Gorge.

He...

He's dead?

Before he died,

he said not to make it public.

That way, the soldiers could go on fighting the Northern Tribes...

under the Ye Family Army's banner.

So...

I could only bring him back in secret.

Where is he?

Where is he?
